Story Untold, a young pop-punk band from Canada, has been engraved into the minds of Simple Plan fans for a while now due to their close ties with the members of Simple Plan. Many of you will recognize Janick Thibault, Story Untold’s lead singer, who’s made it big on YouTube thanks to his covers of various pop-punk songs, including some by Simple Plan.
This has eventually led him to open for Simple Plan with his previous band called Amasic and over the years a friendship between him and Simple Plan has flourished. Janick has even co-written a number of songs with the members of Simple Plan for Story Untold’s first official, self-titled, EP.
On February 2nd Story Untold released their debut full-length album called ‘Waves’ and thanks to our reader Conner we found out that the album actually features one song originally written by Simple Plan. This song is called ‘California’ and according to the credits, it has been written by Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, John Feldmann and Nick Furlong (RAS). If we go back, these four song-writers got together back in November 2014 to do some song-writing for Simple Plan’s then-upcoming album (later becoming ‘Taking One For The Team’), so it is fairly clear to say that this song was written during some of those song-writing sessions.

Surely however you still must be wondering how Story Untold got ahold of this song in the first place. That’s why SimplePlan.cz reached out to Janick Thibault himself to give us a little background about this song and this is what he had to say about ‘California’ (thanks, Janick!):
